Guinness World Record: Father and Daughter Have World's Widest Tongues

MEET the 'Gobfather' Byron Schlenker and his teenage daughter - who together have the world's widest TONGUES. Byron's big buds measure a whopping 8.6cm across - the same width as a beer mat and 2cm wider than an iPhone 6. And daughter Emily 14, is not far behind at 7.3cm. Byron, 47, only discovered his rare gift when he picked up a copy of the Guinness Book of World Records while helping Emily with a school project at the library. The organisation has since crowned him the man with the world's widest tongue, making him something of a celebrity in his hometown of Syracuse, New York.
